Photos of the Coast Guard trip to Granite Island February 25, 2003
The web cam mounted on the roof of the tower was used by NOAA for studying the ice on Lake Superior in the winter of 2002 - 2003. When it malfunctioned in February 2003 the Coast Guard was contacted to fly a repair mission. Topographic maps and previous aerial photographs allowed the Coast Guard crew to find a spot to land on the island before the trip was attempted. Weather foiled the first 2 opportunities but on February 25, 2003 a successful flight and landing on the island was made. Click 'Next Slide' to see a sequence of photos of the Coast Guard helicopter on the island.
